  • I agree. Linux gaming has come a long way, but if OP likes playing any competitive game, it’s best to dual boot. Linux gamers have been banned from Apex Legends, for example, after the anti-cheat falsely flagged them.

    Having said that, I’ve had a dual boot for 7 years now and I’ve only used my Windows side for a few rare games (Apex, Overwatch, etc). Never for software. But then again I’m a software dev so YMMV.

    Virtualbox is fine to test things out. In general, if you were to install it directly to your machine, it will run snappier than it will run in the virtual machine. Just saying if it feels laggy in Virtualbox, that doesn’t mean it won’t work.

    For ISOs just go to the website of the distro you choose and look for ‘Downloads’. Usually there’s an ISO that’s been optimized for Virtualbox.
